Luo Tian Rock Carving is an important cultural attraction in Luotianyan Scenic Area. According to the literature, there are more than 2 square kilometers of cliff around Luotianyan, and there are more than 100 inscriptions by celebrities since the Tang and Song Dynasties. However, due to the age, many stone carvings have weathered and peeled off, and man-made destruction during the Cultural Revolution, only 57 pieces can be identified and well protected.
Luo Tian rock carvings are mainly distributed in Dong Si Cliff and Guanshan Rock. There are 15 distinguishable products on the cliff to the east of Dong Si, with the most stone carvings in Song Dynasty. At present, the earliest stone carvings found in the three years of the Song Dynasty (105 1) are on this cliff. The most striking stone carving at the top of the cliff is the inscription "The Son of Heaven is eternal" by Yue Fei, a hero of the Song Dynasty. In the third year of Shaoxing in the Southern Song Dynasty (1 133), Yue Fei was ordered to "suppress" the peasant rebels in Du Yu. He first came to Luotianyan, five miles away from the county seat, to meet the abbot, Master Huanglong, and publicly told him: "Yue Jiajun will be defeated in this expedition." Yue Fei was very unhappy and thought of Yue Jiajun. Later, as Zen master Huanglong said, Yue Jiajun was brave, but he still couldn't win the battle. Yue Fei thought that the words of Zen master Huanglong really worked! After the war, Yue Fei went to Luo Tianyan to visit Master Huanglong. In anticipation of Yue Fei's coming, Master Huanglong told the monks in the temple, "If General Yue Fei comes, you can say that the teacher is not at home." . With that, I took off my cassock and put it on my seat, and left. Yue Fei came to Luotianyan again, as if he saw a tiger crouching in the temple from a distance. He came to the temple and asked the monks about Master Huanglong. Everyone said that he was not at home and didn't know when he would come back. Yue Fei was very disappointed, so he wrote a four-line poem "Luo's Visit to Huanglong Zen" and wrote four vigorous and powerful characters "Ten thousand years of the Emperor". The "deep white clouds" on the upper left of the cliff were carved by Wang Maode, a calligrapher in the Yuan Dynasty.
The cliff to the east of the temple extends to Shan Yan to the left, where there are not only the most concentrated inscriptions, but also the most inscriptions by celebrities. At present, there are 27 inscriptions, the most striking one on the right is 1. In the second year of Jingyan in the Southern Song Dynasty (1299), Wen Tianxiang led an army against Yuan soldiers. After a great victory, he visited Luo Tianyan and wrote the poem "The Rock Wall of Luo Tian", which reads: "Brothers and gentlemen, are the parents of the people. Jing * * *, integrity is with. There is nothing wrong, God is by your side. " Expressed the strong will and noble sentiment of infidelity. In the middle of the cliff, there is a seven-character quatrain "You Luotian Rock", which was inscribed by Zhou Dunyi, a philosopher of the Northern Song Dynasty who was then Ganzhoutong, when he visited Luotian Rock in the first month of the eighth year of Jiaqing (1063). The content of the word is: "when you smell a stone, you can find it, but you can also relax outside the cloud." Although it is not in the cave, it is different from the world. " In the same year, Zhou Dunyi wrote "Love Lotus" and on May 15th, the county magistrate Shen Xiyan wrote a book, stamped it with five seals and put money on it. Unfortunately, this stone carving has not been preserved. Zhou Dunyi's inscription pioneered the inscription of famous people in Luo. Since then, Luo's reputation has spread far and wide, and some folk military commanders, poets, celebrities and literati have traveled all over the world, and some have made friends, which is immortal. On the left side of Zhou Dunyi's inscription is Yue Fei's inscription "Luo visited the old site of Huanglong": "Visit with a stick, only tigers are left in the old cave. It's so deep that it's nowhere to be found, and the pine in the middle of the mountain shakes the west wind. " On the right is the "Tilo Tian Yan Stone Carving" inscribed by the calligrapher of the Northern Song Dynasty. The inscription on the "sequence of observing good rocks" on the upper part of the rock wall reads: "goodness is my nature. According to legend, "Observing the good, taking the so-called phase view and being good" was the topic of Wu Shouren, a Dali scholar in Ming Dynasty, when Du visited Luotianyan.
In addition, there are Luo Tian rock carvings 12 on the stone wall in the temple; Zhu, a philosopher of the Southern Song Dynasty, wrote "Wonderland" in guanyin temple. There are "Ruquan" products 1 piece inscribed by Zhang Mei in Yudu County in the Qing Dynasty in the west of the temple. Shanxi has the inscription "Don't make holes in the sky"1; There are 1 products engraved with "Yang Yanlan" in the north of the mountain.
The contents and forms of Luo Tian's rock carvings are varied, including poems, plaques, statues of Buddhist niches and names of people. Fonts include regular script, running script, cursive script, official script and seal script. Among them, most of them are seal script and running script, which are not only physical materials for studying Chinese calligraphy and stone carving art, but also precious materials for studying politics, economy and culture in southern Jiangxi, and are precious historical and cultural heritage. For this reason, from 65438 to 0987, Luo Tianyan listened to the precipice of Ya Dan, just like a heavy history. In the 900 years since the Northern Song Dynasty, different historical figures carved immortal historical chapters with axes in different historical periods. Dan Cliff is very long, and the weather-beaten inscription on it looks mottled. How much historical information is waiting for us to study, interpret, interpret and appreciate?
